COMBiNATlON-GARMENT.

CJEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,571, dated April6,1886.

Application filed July Ill), IESS.

T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABE. lV. MENSOR, of Jacksonville, in the county ofJackson and State of Oregon, have invented a new and IniprovedCombination Garment, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention consists in a combined lapelvest and overshirt withlapelhosoms and a detachable series of cuffs and collars, allsuhst-antially as herein shown and described, and whereby three garmentsare combined in onethat is, vest, overshirt, and white or colored shirtor shirt-front with cuffs and collars to match.

The invention is an improvement upon the combined lapel vest andovershirt for which Letters Patent No. 316,803 were issued to me April2S, 1885.

eference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specificatiomin which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the gures.

Figure 'l is a View in perspective as seen from the front of my improvedcombined garment; Fig. 2, a similar view of the same as seen from itshack; Fig. 3, a view of one of the sleeves in part with attached cuffswhen thrown open; and Fig. 4, a partial section on the line a.' ./v inFig. l.

A indicates the vest portion of the garment, the hack of which may helined and he constructed with a. lapel.

B is the body or tail part of the shirt portion of the garment,wliicli,as well as the vest, is made to button all the way down in front, tofacilitate the putting on of the garment, as in other garments openingdown the front. It may also, if desired, be made to open down the back.

Said vest and shirt portions of the garment may either be made of thesame or different material, and either of the same or different colors.iVhen opening down the front, it may he closed by buttons b, orotherwise.

C G are the sleeves.

The lapel portions c c of the vest, which form part of the bosom of theovershirt, are sewed onto the inside of the vest, as shown at d, in Fig.4, so that they may be folded either inside or out.

D D are the right and left sections of the Serial No. 173,044. (Nomodel.)

shirt-hosoni,stitchcd, laced, or secured by buttons e c to the inside ofthe vest, and which may be white or colored, and are secured by buttonsf or otherwise down thefront. g g are the pockets of the vest.

E and F are cuffs to the sleeves O C, and which are of different coloror material to match with the shirt and vest, the one, E, say, heiligcolored corresponding with the sleeves and front of t-he vest, and theother, F, white or colored to correspond with the shirt-bosom D D. Thesecuffs are here shown as arranged one over the other., but they may heused separately and turned around, and each button separately, as bybuttons h, to the inside of the sleeves CC.

Vhen the vest-bosom la-pcls c c are turned back or under, the white orcolored shirt-hosom D D is exposed, and the tails B of the overshirt,which may he unbuttoned, may be tucked into the pau ts. By sceuri ng thelapels c c to the inside of the vest, back of the margins of the frontopeningin the latter, as shown at d in Fig. 4, facility is afforded forthus turning back or in said lapels, or the lapels c c may be turnedoutward, and buttoned, as byy buttons and button-holes i 7c, the oneover the other, and thus show a like garment throughont in front, stillproviding for exposing a shirt or shirt-front and vest of differentcolors, and making a vest and overshi rt, as may be desired, either ofthe same or different colors or materials. Vhen, however, the shirt orshirtfront is of one color or material and the vest of another color ormaterial there will appear to be displayed two distinct garments, and bytueking the tail portion Bof the shirt into the pants, or leaving itoutside, the garment will make a vest and undershirt exposure,erovershirt and undcrshirt, the lapels c c of the vest being either openor closed to suit, and the whole making virtually three garmentsconvertible at pleasure that is, vest, overshirt, and white or coloredshirt or shirt-front,with cuffs and collars to match. A back strap, Z,is also provided to add to the effect.

In addition to the detachable and convertible cuffs to suit thesedifferent changes and exposures of the garment, which provides forpassing Suspenders to hold up the pants through it, the garment is alsoprovided with ICO convertible collars G H, the outer one, G, of whichmay be detachably connected to a button or stud, m, at the back of theneck of the garment, and the inner one, H, of which, that may be whiteor colored to correspond with the bosom, is separately buttoned on, asat n, to the inside of the back of the neck portion of the garment, andthen the shirt-bosom or bosom-sections D D, secured by buttons s s,attached to the garment, and passing both through the collar H andupper, back, or inside ends of the shirt-bosom sections.

Having thus described my invention,- I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- As an improved article of n'lanufacture, the

the vest portion A of the garment, shirt-bo,

som sections D D, secured, as described, to the inside of the vest, theconvertible and detachable cuffs E F, secured to the inside of the.

sleeves of the garment, and the convertible and detachable collars G H,substantially as shown and described.
